New to TFP - Help with Hayward DE Filter Please

[adamd123]

Hi everyone,

Bought our house about three years ago. Ingroumd vinyl lined pool hasn't been opened for "um-teen" years. I'm close to getting it opened - a little late in the season but it's better than never, right!

I have a stainless steel DE720 Hayward filter. It has been in the garage. I noticed the air relief wasn't on there so I bought a new one - a DEX2400 I think was the model number. How exactly does this attach to the filter housing? There's just a hole on the top of the housing, and the air relief is threaded, but the threads are way too small for the hole. It seems there is something missing at the top of my filter that would "receive" the air relief valve.

Adam,

Welcome to TFP.. A Great resource for all pool owners whose pools have been asleep for "um-teen" years...

Most stainless filters I have seen were all very old.. not sure about yours. How about a picture so that we are all on the same page...

Thanks for posting,

Jim R.

Thanks Jim! I tried to post a picture but it wouldn't let me before. Sorry about that

From the parts list it looks like there is a nut and washer. DEX2400s4

Here is an exploded view of the parts for this filter. You can compare what you have to what is on this list.

Oh man I feel stupid. Thanks for the help everyone. I looked at two other diagrams and neither one showed a separate nut and washer. I should have went to Inyo pools! They seem like a pretty good company. Ordered my liner from them. [emoji106]

Thanks again for the help everyone!

Thanks everyone for the help.

The ONLY place I found these two parts was poolpartsonline.com. Dex2400S4 nut and Dex2400S5 washer were under $9, but I expedited the shipping for $20 .
